An exellent example of what was my service rifle for the first fifteen years of my career. A few minor differences of course. Our wood didn't look any where as nice as yours either. They sure did carry nicely too.
I finally got everything caught up and had time Saturday to get some photos of some of these recoveries I have done and not sold off. Some of them I did several years ago. I did not make a post of the M1A set up as a XM-21 I just add some photos of it to my gallery. Thanks for the kind words.Quote:

Your right Lou, she was so ugly I had to put her is a rack by herself as nun of my customers wanted their guns anywhere near it. The stock that was on it I gave to the kids down the road to play with. She shoots as good as she looks now too. At the time it never crossed my mind to take before pictures of the Enfields, L1A1, Carbines, or Garands. I need to put a big sign in the shop,,,,, TAKE A PHOTO DUMMY.
